Yoru: Hello again!

Kuronue: Didn't think you'd gotten rid of us, did you?

Yoru: By now you know who's got Kuronue. If not…it's probably because I take too long to update.

Youko stared at Kuronue, who stood before him, held possessively by Taitsu. Kuronue's eyes were wide with fear.

"I'm here, Taitsu. What do you want?" Youko growled.

"I don't know. Fun? Revenge? Maybe a little sex? All of the above?" Taitsu laughed, kissing Kuronue's cheek gently. Kuronue jerked, whimpering.

"Let him go," Youko snarled.

"No." Taitsu stroked Kuronue's face, running his fingers over cheeks, jaw line, neck, and back up to the terrified Chimera's lips, earning a louder whimper and frantic but fruitless struggles. Youko fought to keep his temper in check.

"What do you want, Taitsu?"

"Your body."

Silence.

"I'm your brother, you sick freak."

"I don't mean that way. Who's the sick freak now?" Taitsu lifted his struggling prisoner and set him down on the bed. Kuronue immediately scrambled backwards until he was curled up in the corner.

"Then what do you mean, you want my body?" Youko felt the youki rising in the room, and readied himself. However, it was only a chair creating itself out of plants behind him.

"Sit. I will explain."

"I'm not sitting in that. I don't trust you."

"And well you shouldn't. But as I have your precious Chimera in my clutches and within perfect range of my powers, I would advise you to do as I say."

Youko growled audibly, but sat in the chair. He tensed, but nothing happened.

"See? Harmless. Now. When you killed me, my soul hungered for revenge and therefore remained on this plane. I now have Turo's body; found him dead in a desert. But I want yours, Youko. Your strong, powerful, beautiful body. My offer is this. Willingly give me your body, or I'll take everything…everything…from your Chimera."

Youko stared at him in disbelief.

"Don't, Youko!" Kuronue interjected suddenly. Taitsu sat on the bed, smirking at Kuronue.

"Isn't it sweet how he tries to convince you, Youko? But if you don't agree, he'll never be that sweet again."

Youko saw Kuronue's eyes widen in terror.

"You bastard! Leave him out of this! Just fight me!" Youko tried to leap out of the chair, but suddenly vines emerged from it and securely tied him down.

"Youko!" Kuronue lunged toward him, but with a casual gesture from Taitsu, another vine roughly yanked him back to the bed, holding him down.

"Let me give you a demonstration, Youko. Perhaps that will speed up the decision." Taitsu moved onto the bed towards the struggling Chimera. Kuronue tore through the vine and attempted to get away, but Taitsu only grabbed his wrists and pinned him.

"TAITSU! LET HIM GO!" Youko shouted, struggling mentally and physically with the vines that held him. They ignored his frantic orders to let him up, and if he broke one, two more appeared in its place.

"Your answer, Youko." Taitsu didn't wait, however. He forced Kuronue's hands over his head and used his free hand to grab the struggling Chimera's chin.

"If you bite me this time, Kuronue, I'll take it out on Youko," he whispered. Kuronue's eyes widened. Taitsu kissed him, harsh and demanding, forcing his tongue into his prisoner's mouth and purging, rather than exploring, the innocent depths.

"TAITSU! GET OFF OF HIM!" Youko fought the vines desperately. Taitsu pulled away from Kuronue's mouth, smirking.

"I won't, until I have your answer, Youko."

"I'll give it to you! Just don't hurt him!" Youko stopped struggling, hanging his head.

"No! You can't!" Kuronue tried to get up as Taitsu let go of him, only to be forced back down as vines wrapped around his limbs to hold him down. Taitsu lifted Youko's head, smirking.

"Isn't this all so precious? Giving yourself for your dear Chimera."

"YOUKO! YOUKO, NO!" Kuronue was silenced as a gesture from Taitsu caused a vine to gag him. He continued to fight.

"You'll still be in your body since you're still alive. I'd rather let you watch the remainder of your life from inside than kill you. But say goodbye to the Chimera anyway."

Youko's resigned eyes met Kuronue's tearful ones.

"Goodbye, Kuronue."

Kuronue could only make a muffled gurgle.

Taitsu placed his forehead against Youko's and closed his eyes.

It was over in an instant.

Taitsu, or Turo's, body slumped to the ground. The vines slid off of Youko, allowing him to stand. The familiar mouth lifted in an uncharacteristic smirk.

"Ahhh. I like this." Youko, or Taitsu, glanced at Kuronue, whose eyes widened in horror. The smirk grew.

"What do you think, Kuronue? Would you like it better if this body…messed with you?"

Kuronue's eyes widened further, and his struggles intensified as Taitsu approached. Climbing onto the bed, the fox demon leaned over a terrified Kuronue. Taitsu ran his lips over Kuronue's cheek, reveling in the muffled cries of protest and the frantic struggling.

"I'm going to enjoy this…"
